Tony is a handsome little chihuaua who came to SFCR as a breeder release.

Tony is such a funny little guy - he loves toys including nylabones that are as big as he is. He mingles well with the other dogs in his foster home, for the most part. Every once in awhile he gets a little hot and bothered by other male dogs but nothing too serious.

Tony is doing very well with going #2 outside but wears a belly band inside because he is still learning not to mark in the house. 

 

ADOPTION REQUIREMENTS:

  • Physically fenced in yard to keep him safe - no invisible fences. Leash/harness walking is still a work in progress.
  • Small breed resident dog preferred. 
  • Adult home or home with older, respectful children only (12+).

Tony has been neutered and had a dental with multiple extractions (including 3 of his canine teeth). He tested negative for heartworm & tick-borne disease, is current on vaccinations & monthly preventatives, and microchipped. His adoption fee is $400 plus tax.

*All SFCR dogs are current on age-appropriate vaccinations (rabies, distemper, bordetella, and lepto), spayed/neutered (if at least 6 months of age), tested for heartworm & tick-borne diseases, receive dentals if needed, are started on preventatives for heartworm and fleas/ticks, and microchipped.

Prior to being rescued, many of our dogs have received limited socialization, so they generally require extra time to settle in and acclimate. Skills like house training, leash walking, and mastering stairs may require a little extra practice. However, with understanding, patience, and a gentle hand, most of our dogs adapt quite quickly.
